A young cook

When he was younger, thirteen-year-old Dara Reilly enjoyed


watching cooking programmes on TV. But it was his
grandmother who showed him how to cook. She could make
lots of different dishes and never needed to use a cookbook.

Last year, Dara entered a five-day cooking competition for teenagers called Cook It. On the
first day, they were put into teams and given a box of food to make a three-course meal.
They were also given a laptop, so they could email people they knew for ideas. Dara sent a
message to his grandmother, who told him how to make some special dishes with the
things in the box.

There were some difficult moments for the young cooks. When they were baking cakes,
one boy put in salt instead of sugar. Another time, when they had to work in the kitchen of a
real restaurant, the members of one team couldn’t agree. And when they had to boil a
perfect egg without a clock, all the teams had problems.

Dara’s team didn’t win the competition, but he says he doesn’t mind. ‘I don’t think the
competition helped me become a better cook, but I’m still glad I entered. The Cook It
kitchen was amazing. It was so modern. But the best thing for me was making so many
new friends. That was great!’

Dara now goes to cooking classes. He’s going to start his own website soon and give other
teenagers advice on cooking great dishes. And who knows? He might even open his own
restaurant one day.
